Infinitely Flexible Eventide Delay with MIDI Control at Your Feet!

The Eventide TimeFactor delay pedal is a powerful delay processor for the professional musician. This portable stompbox is loaded with ten of Eventide's most prized delay types with modulation controls, so whatever delay effect you're looking for, TimeFactor provides the tools to dial it in. You get two independent 3-second delays, a 12-second looper, and tap tempo or MIDI clock sync. Of course, the TimeFactor features true analog bypass and instant program change for the cleanest operation. Store 27 presets onboard; unlimited with MIDI! Best of all, this pedal is easily upgradeable via USB.

Time To Control

Eventide's TimeFactor offers ten delay types with the ability to control up to two delay types at once -- with independent time and feedback controls for each -- with controls for adjusting the balance of both delay effects as well as the overall effect level. Basic modulation controls like depth, speed, and filter are provided, and there's an "Xnob" which controls different parameters depending on which effect is selected. You can also connect your own external expression pedal, allowing for yet another level of user customizability.

Expandable Algorithms

Eventide ushers stompboxes into the modern age with expandable algorithms and an app store from which you can download expansion packs and other upgrades for TimeFactor and other Eventide stompboxes. Just browse through Eventide's library from your computer, download your favorite patches, and upload to your TimeFactor via USB. It's like the gift that keeps on giving.

"Quite possibly the best stomp box delay out there!!!!"

Sound:
Sound quality is excellent. Very distinguishable differences between settings which is better than most delay pedals. Its inspiringly good! Sound is excellent! It allows your tone to shine through the effected sound and makes you want to never use any other delay pedal!
Feature:
Plenty of usable features. All of the different delay settings are unique and interesting and usable settings that are very adjustable. The only thing I'm not a fan of (as with most pedals) is the power supply. I wish they had something sturdier because I'm worried of damaging the input. Otherwise its a great product with endless usable options and sounds!
Ease of Use:
It can be used as plug and play. Granted its slightly more complicated than the average boss style delay, but you can find a good quick delay that is usable in most situations! That wouldn't really justify the price or necessarily be the best use for this pedal. If you are willing to take the time to fiddle with settings it becomes fairly intuitive to use. Besides once you start to save settings you like you can come back to them with a few pedal taps. I like the ability to dial in mili seconds as opposed to just using tap tempo. This way you can work with exact delay times in relation to song Bpm's.
Quality:
Like a tank. Feels heavy and strong. I wouldn't want to throw it against the wall, but who would?! If you treat it like any other expensive piece of equipment you own, you'll get many years out of it!!!! Only problem is the power supply connector like I mentioned earlier!
Value:
As with all of us we would love to pay as little as possible but realistically this pedal is worth every cent. Compared to other pedals of lesser quality and comparable price, this is worth that little extra!!!!!!
Manufacturer Support:
No idea as the product works so well and I have not had any problems, I haven't had to contact them!
The Wow Factor:
Looks cool!!!! Its inspiring to play. I could use the 2 boss dd5's I have, but the sound quality is miles ahead!!! It looks sick on my pedal board, like something out of star trek!
Overall:
Great great delay pedal with tons of usable features. Excellent quality sound and it lets your tone really shine through!

"OMMFG!! A total must have!! Get it NOW!!"

Sound:
Outstanding sound. Outstanding quality. Oustanding versitility. The sounds/delays are infinitly adjustible! The description dose not do justice to the product. It reads as if you are buying a Z06 vet and getting an Lamboghini. By itself is a sweet sound, used in conjunction with other equipment is seamless and makes it even more versitile.
Feature:
A very well read booklet and some simple cheat sheets, if you will. Its an EvenTide, quality componets and materials. No frills, just stright forward controls. What the description dose not tell you is that the effects can be controled with a WHA-WHA pedal to sweep thru the already set up presets that are also adjustable and saveable. Very cool and very sweet. You can hook up 3 control switchs to control 6 parameters all thru one AUX port. And the MIDI controls are out of this world. If you have a computer sequencer/software....Im just speachless!!
Ease of Use:
The presets in there own right are enough to satisfy anyone on there own. When you add in the several ( 10 knobs, a/b sides) and the adjustibility...well its just mind blowing! A turn of a knob and your are in a diffrent world, that easy.
Quality:
Its EvenTide..need I say more?
Value:
Worth every cent!!
Manufacturer Support:
Connect a usb and download product updates, back up a single preset or all or the whole system. Top notch. There web site is cool.
The Wow Factor:
Stright forward design, features and layout, simple easy, this switch dose this this knob dose that.
Overall:
I have a DigiTech GNX3 a TimeFactor and a PitchFactor...just short of the EvenTide H8000HW, this is alllll I need. It will take 2 life times to use all the features I have at my feet!
